TECHNICAL FIELD
[0001] The present invention relates to a safety apparatus that ejects an ejected object
such as a parachute or a paraglider, and relates to an aerial vehicle including the
safety apparatus.
BACKGROUND ART
[0002] In recent years, with the development of an autonomous control technology and a flight
control technology, an industrial use of an aerial vehicle provided with a plurality
of rotor blades called a drone, for example, has been accelerating. The drone flies,
for example, by simultaneously rotating a plurality of rotor blades in a wellbalanced
manner, ascends and descends by increasing or decreasing a rotation speed of the rotor
blades, and can advance and retreat by tilting an airframe by increasing and decreasing
the rotation speed of the rotor blades. Such aerial vehicles are expected to spread
worldwide in the future.
[0003] Meanwhile, the risk of fall accidents of the aerial vehicles as described above is
considered to be dangerous and hinders spread of the aerial vehicles. In order to
reduce the risk of such fall accidents, parachute apparatuses for aerial vehicles
have been commercialized as safety apparatuses.
[0004] As an example of the parachute safety apparatus, the applicant(s) filed an application
according to Patent Literature 1 below. As illustrated in FIG. 1 of Patent Literature
1, a safety apparatus of Patent Literature 1 includes a piston member (sliding member),
a cylinder that accommodates the piston member and is provided with a bore through
which the piston member protrudes to the outside during operation, a push-up member
pushed up in one direction by the piston member, an ejected object pushed up while
being supported by the push-up member, and a gas generator that moves the piston member
in the cylinder, in which the push-up member has a support disposed at a terminal
end of the piston member with respect to a distal end of the piston member in a moving
direction of the piston member. A bottom of the push-up member is fixed to the distal
end of the piston member.

PATENT LITERATURE
SUMMARY OF INVENTION
TECHNICAL PROBLEMS
[0006] As a method of fixing the distal end of the piston member to the bottom of the push-up
member in Patent Literature 1, there is considered a method of joining and fixing
the distal end of the piston member using an adhesive or the like, or a method of
fastening and fixing a bolt having an external thread by screwing the bolt into an
internal thread provided from the bottom of the push-up member to the distal end of
the piston member. However, when bonding and fixing are performed using an adhesive,
for example, when an inner diameter of the bottomed cylindrical portion of the push-up
member is larger than an outer diameter of the cylinder to generate a gap, it may
be difficult to position a center between the bottom of the bottomed cylindrical portion
of the push-up member and the distal end of the piston member. When the fastening
and fixing are performed as described above, the piston may rotate together in the
cylinder to make assembling difficult.
[0007] An object of the present invention is to provide a safety apparatus that is easier
to assemble than a conventional art, and an aerial vehicle including the safety apparatus.

DESCRIPTION OF EMBODIMENT
[0011] Hereinafter, a safety apparatus according to an embodiment of the present invention
will be described with reference to FIGS. 1 to 5.
[0012] As illustrated in FIG. 1, a safety apparatus 100 according to the present embodiment
includes a piston member 10 as a sliding member, a cylinder 14 that accommodates the
piston member 10 and is provided with a bore 13 through which the piston member 10
protrudes to the outside (upward in FIG. 1) during operation, a push-up member 15
that is pushed up in one direction (upward in FIG. 1) by the piston member 10, an
ejected object 16 that is pushed up while being supported by the push-up member 15,
a gas generator (micro gas generator or the like) 17 as a power source that moves
the piston member 10 in the cylinder 14, a bottomed cylindrical container 18 that
accommodates the piston member 10, the cylinder 14, the push-up member 15, the ejected
object 16, and the gas generator 17, and a lid 21 that closes an opening end of the
container 18.
[0013] In the present embodiment, the ejected object 16 is a parachute or a paraglider.
The gas generator 17 is disposed below a body 11 (described later) of the piston member
10 in a state of being press-fitted into an opening end below the cylinder 14. A lower
part of the cylinder 14 is fixed to a bottom of the container 18.
[0014] The piston member 10 includes the body 11 having a part with an outer diameter substantially
equal to an inner diameter of the cylinder 14, and includes a rod 12 connected to
the body 11, extending upward, and having a smaller diameter than the body 11.
[0015] An internal thread 12a is formed from a distal end to a midway along a central axis
at an upper end of the rod 12. At least the upper end of the rod 12 has a non-circular
(here, square as illustrated in FIG. 2(a)) cross section. Here, the non-circular shape
is, for example, a polygonal shape (for example, FIGS. 2(a) to 2(d)), an elliptical
shape (for example, FIG. 2(e)), a star shape (for example, FIG. 2(f)), a gear shape
(for example, FIG. 2(g)), or the like, and includes any shape as long as being a non-circular
shape. An external thread 50b of a bolt member 50 (described later) can be screwed
with the internal thread 12a.
[0016] A stopper 23 disposed so as to surround a part of the rod 12 of the piston member
10 is provided in an upper inner part of the cylinder 14. That is, the rod 12 is disposed
in a state of being inserted through the stopper 23. As a result, when the piston
member 10 moves upward, the body 11 comes into contact with the stopper 23 and stops,
and thus the body 11 is not released to the outside from the inside of the cylinder
14.
[0017] As illustrated in FIG. 1, the push-up member 15 includes a bottomed cylindrical portion
19 disposed so as to cover a part of the cylinder 14, that is, an outer part of the
cylinder 14 except for a vicinity of the opening end at which the gas generator 17
is disposed, and the push-up member 15 includes a support 20 having a disc shape,
provided as a flange at an opening of the bottomed cylindrical portion 19, and supporting
the ejected object 16.
[0018] The bottomed cylindrical portion 19 includes a bottom 19a having a substantially
flat plate shape or a substantially columnar shape (substantially columnar shape in
the present embodiment), a hole 51 formed in the bottom 19a close to the lid 21, a
hole 52 (second hole) having a diameter smaller than a diameter of the hole 51, and
a hole 53 (first hole) communicating with the hole 51 through the hole 52 and having
a diameter larger than the diameter of the hole 52. The hole 51 has a diameter larger
than a diameter of a head 50a of the bolt member 50. The hole 52 has a diameter smaller
than the diameter of the head 50a, and can guide the external thread 50b of the bolt
member 50 inserted from the hole 51 to the hole 53. The hole 53 has a substantially
identical shape to a shape of one end (upper end) of the rod 12, and is a fitting
portion into which one end of the rod 12 is fitted by inserting the one end of the
rod 12 from an insertion opening 53a provided in the bottom 19a of the bottomed cylindrical
portion 19, close to the cylinder 14.
[0019] The bolt member 50 couples the rod 12 and the push-up member 15 by inserting the
external thread 50b into the hole 51 from the hole 52 and screwing the external thread
50b with the internal thread 12a of the rod 12 fitted in the hole 53. At this time,
since the one end of the rod 12 has a non-circular shape and is fitted in the hole
53 having a substantially identical shape to the one end, the rod 12 does not rotate
together when the bolt member 50 is threaded with the internal thread 12a. Specifically,
a distal end of the push-up member 15 and a distal end of the piston member 10, which
are non-circular and fitted to each other, can be rotated with the push-up member
15 fixed when being fastened by the bolt member 50, and the piston member 10 can be
fastened toward the gas generator 17 and can be fastened without being rotated together.
[0020] The support 20 is provided apart from an inner surface of the bottom of the container
18 in an initial state. The support 20 has a vent hole 26 for reducing an influence
of a negative pressure generated between the bottom of the ejected object 16 and the
support 20 during operation to facilitate ejection of the ejected object 16. An outer
periphery of the support 20 is formed so as not to be in contact with an inner side
of the container 18.
[0021] As illustrated in FIGS. 3(a) and 4, the lid 21 includes a cylindrical projection
21a extending from an edge toward the container 18, a receiving member 21b provided
so as to protrude toward the container 18 at a position facing the projection 21a
and sandwiching the opening end of the container 18, and a reinforcing member 21e
reinforcing a top surface of the lid 21.
[0022] The projection 21a has a through hole 21c penetrating toward a center of the lid
21. A pin member 22 is inserted into the through hole 21c and a through hole 18a (described
later) to configure an engagement mechanism that engages the opening end of the container
18 and the projection 21a. Here, the projection 21a has a cylindrical shape, but may
be any projection (such as a protrusion) provided so as to face the receiving member
21b and having the through hole 21c, and need not have a cylindrical shape.
[0023] The receiving member 21b has a through hole 21d penetrating toward the center of
the lid 21. When the pin member 22 is inserted into the through hole 21c and the through
hole 18a, the through hole 21d receives a distal end of the pin member 22 (the distal
end of the pin member 22 is inserted), and the opening end of the container 18 and
the lid 21 can be more firmly fixed.
[0024] The pin member 22 includes a head 22a having a diameter larger than a diameter of
the through hole 21c, and a rod 22b provided with the head 22a at one end and inserted
into and fitted to the through holes 18a, 21c, and 21d. The pin member 22 is provided
with a locking portion that prevents the pin member from coming off after being inserted
into the through holes 18a, 21c, and 21d before operation. Specific examples of the
pin member 22 include a brush clip pin, a trim clip pin, and the like, but are not
limited thereto, and any pin member may be used as long as having a locking portion
(including a locking portion having a relatively high frictional force on a surface
of the rod 22b) that prevents the pin member from coming off after being inserted
into the through holes 18a, 21c, and 21d.
[0025] The reinforcing member 21e is provided inside the top surface of the lid 21 at a
position not in contact with the upper end of the bottomed cylindrical portion 19
of the push-up member 15. Here, as a modification, the reinforcing member 21e may
have any shape as long as being reinforceable without being in contact with the upper
end of bottomed cylindrical portion 19 of the push-up member 15, and a plurality of
reinforcing members may be provided radially outward from the center of the lid, may
be in a spiral shape, or may be provided outside the top surface of the lid 21.
[0026] The container 18 has the through hole 18a and a breakable portion 18b near the opening
end. The breakable portion 18b is a portion of the through hole 18a that breaks when
a predetermined force or more is applied toward a top of the drawing of FIG. 3.
[0027] As illustrated in FIGS. 1 and 3(b), the bottom of the container 18 is provided with
a plurality of vent holes 24 communicating the inside and the outside of the container
18. A side wall of the container 18 is provided with a plurality of vent holes 25
communicating the inside and the outside of the container 18. When the push-up member
15 rapidly moves in the container 18, a negative pressure is generated in a region
between the push-up member 15 and a bottom surface of the container 18. The negative
pressure makes it difficult to move the push-up member 15. Therefore, by providing
the vent holes 24 and 25, the phenomenon of negative pressure can be reduced, and
the push-up member 15 can be smoothly moved.
[0028] The ejected object 16 is accommodated in the container 18 between an inner surface
of the container 18 and an outer surface of the bottomed cylindrical portion 19 of
the push-up member 15, for example, so as to surround the outer surface of the bottomed
cylindrical portion 19. The ejected object 16 is folded such that an outer side of
the ejected object 16 is not in contact with the inner side of the container 18. Note
that the ejected object 16 is connected to, for example, one end of a string (not
shown), and the other end of the string is connected to the inside of the container
18 or an airframe 31 of an aerial vehicle 30 (described later).
[0029] As the gas generator 17, only an igniter may be used, or a gas generator including
an igniter and a gas generating agent may be used. Alternatively, a hybrid or a stored
gas generator that cleaves a sealing plate in a small gas cylinder by a gunpowder
igniter and discharges internal gas to the outside may be used. In this case, as a
pressurized gas in the gas cylinder, a non-flammable gas such as argon, helium, nitrogen,
or carbon dioxide, or a mixture thereof can be used. In order to reliably propel a
piston when the pressurized gas is released, the gas generator may be provided with
a heating element including a gas generating agent composition, a thermite composition,
or the like.
[0030] The piston member 10, the cylinder 14, the push-up member 15, the gas generator 17,
and the like mainly constitute an ejector that ejects the ejected object 16.
[0031] In the above configuration, when the gas generator 17 is operated, for example, at
time of a fall of the aerial vehicle or the like equipped with the safety apparatus
100, the piston member 10 is propelled upward in the cylinder 14 by pressure of gas
generated by the operation. Thus, the push-up member 15 having the bottomed cylindrical
portion 19 connected to the rod 12 of the piston member 10 is propelled (projects)
upward in the container 18. As a result, the lid 21 is pushed up by an upper part
of the push-up member 15, and the pin member 22 breaks the breakable portion 18b of
the container 18. Then, the lid 21 is detached, the opening end of the container 18
is opened, and the ejected object 16 is ejected to the outside (toward a top of the
drawing of FIG. 1) from the inside of the container 18. In a case where the ejected
object 16 is a parachute or a paraglider, the ejected object 16 is ejected from the
container 18 and then deployed.
[0032] As illustrated in FIG. 5, the safety apparatus 100 is coupled and fixed to the airframe
31 of the aerial vehicle 30 via a coupling member 40. At this time, as illustrated
in FIG. 5, the coupling member 40 couples the container 18 and the airframe 31 at
a position not to close the vent holes 24. Therefore, the aerial vehicle 30 includes
the airframe 31, the safety apparatus 100 joined to the airframe 31, one or more propulsion
mechanisms (for example, propellers) 32 joined to the airframe 31 to propel the airframe
31, and a plurality of legs 33 provided in a lower part of the airframe 31. Here,
in practice, a socket for energization is fitted to an electrode in a lower part of
the gas generator 17, but for convenience of description, the socket is omitted in
FIGS. 1 and 5.
[0033] As described above, the present embodiment not only facilitates the positioning of
the center of the bottom 19a of the bottomed cylindrical portion 19 of the push-up
member 15 and the distal end of the rod 12 of the piston member 10, but also prevents
the piston member 10 from rotating together in the cylinder 14. It is therefore possible
to provide the safety apparatus 100 which is easier to assemble than a conventional
art. It is also possible to obtain the aerial vehicle 30 including the safety apparatus
100.
[0034] The embodiment of the present invention has been described above with reference to
the drawings. However, the specific configuration of the present invention should
not be interpreted as to be limited to the embodiment. The scope of the present invention
is defined not by the above embodiment but by claims set forth below, and shall encompass
the equivalents in the meaning of the claims and every modification within the scope
of the claims.
[0035] For example, the present invention includes the following modifications. The hole
51 need not be formed in the bottomed cylindrical portion 19 according to the embodiment.
At this time, the head of the bolt member projects from the bottomed cylindrical portion
of the push-up member, but the head only needs to be designed by adjusting a height
position of the bottom of the bottomed cylindrical portion so as not to obstruct the
lid being attached to the container (for example, not to be located at a position
where the head pushes up the lid in the initial state).
[0036] In the embodiment, the push-up member and the rod of the piston member are coupled
using the bolt member, but the present invention is not limited to this configuration.
For example, an adhesive may be applied to the hole (corresponding to the hole 53
according to the embodiment) of the push-up member or the rod of the piston member
to bond and couple the push-up member and the rod of the piston member. For example,
an external thread may be formed at a distal end of the rod of the piston member,
the rod may be passed through the hole of the push-up member, and a nut member having
an internal thread may be tightened to the external thread to couple the push-up member
and the rod of the piston member.
[0037] In the embodiment, the support 20 of the push-up member 15 extends from an edge of
an opening of the push-up member 15, but the present invention is not limited to this
configuration. Depending on a design such as matching the size of the ejected object
16, the support 20 may be extended from a midway of the bottomed cylindrical portion
19 of the push-up member 15.
[0038] In the embodiment, the gas generator is adopted as the power source, but the configuration
is not limited as long as the sliding member can apply a driving force for propelling
the inside of the cylinder to the sliding member. For example, an elastic body such
as a spring may be adopted.
[0039] In the embodiment, the container 18 has a cylindrical shape. However, the present
invention is not limited to this, and the container 18 may have another shape such
as a quadrangular cylinder.
[0040] The piston member 10 in the embodiment may be configured as a telescopic structure.
[0041] In each embodiment, when a parachute or a paraglider is adopted as the ejected object,
the parachute or the paraglider may be packed. The packing is configured to be broken
or peeled off during operation.
[0042] In each embodiment, the parachute or paraglider have been described as the ejected
object, but the present invention is not limited thereto. An ejected object including
a lift generation member may be ejected as the ejected object. Examples of the lift
generation member include a parafoil, a Rogallo parachute, a single surface parachute,
an airplane wing, a propeller, and a balloon. When the lift generation member has
a control line, the safety apparatus desirably includes a steering mechanism capable
of changing an inclination angle of the ejected lift generation member using the control
line. This steering mechanism includes a plurality of reels for winding up a plurality
of control lines coupled to the lift generation member and includes a motor serving
as power of the reels, for example. By winding up or pulling out the control lines
by driving the motor, it is possible to appropriately pull the lift generation member
or loosen a tension.
[0043] The cylinder, the power source, and the container are preferably coupled or fixed
to the airframe by a rubber band, a belt, a string, or other means (mechanical joint,
bolt, fastener, or adhesive) in the embodiment.
[0044] In the embodiment, one end of the rod 12 is fitted into the hole 53 by inserting
the one end of the rod 12 from the insertion opening 53a, but the present invention
is not limited to this configuration. For example, a part up to a midway of the hole
53 may be a simple through hole (having a circular cross section, for example), and
may have a non-circular shape to which one end of the rod 12 is fitted from the midway.
[0045] Instead of the embodiment, a safety apparatus according to a modification illustrated
in FIG. 6 may be used. Hereinafter, the safety apparatus according to the present
modification will be specifically described. Unless otherwise specified, parts similar
to those in the embodiment are denoted by the same reference signs in the last two
digits, and the description thereof may be omitted. In the present modification, the
same components as those in the embodiment are used unless otherwise specified.
[0046] A safety apparatus 200 according to the present modification is different from the
safety apparatus 100 mainly in that (1) a bottom 160 of a bottomed cylindrical portion
119 includes a part 162 having a substantially flat plate shape or a substantially
columnar shape (substantially flat plate shape in the present modification) and a
cylindrical member 161 fixed to the part 162 on a side opposite to a cylinder 114,
(2) a first hole 153 having an insertion opening 153a is constituted by a hole 162a
provided in the part 162 and an inner side 161a of the cylindrical member 161, (3)
one end of a rod 112 passes through the part 162 from the cylinder 114 toward outside,
and (4) a shape of the inner side 161a of the cylindrical member 161 and a shape of
the one end of the rod 112 are substantially identical, and the one end of the rod
112 is fitted into the inner side 161a of the cylindrical member 161 (the inner side
161a of the cylindrical member 161 is a fitting portion) by inserting the one end
of the rod 112 from the insertion opening 153a provided on a bottom 160 close to the
cylinder 114 through the hole 162a to the inner side 161a of the cylindrical member
161, and (5) a rod 712 and a push-up member 115 are coupled by inserting an external
thread 150b of a bolt member 150 into a hole 152 through a hole 161b provided in the
cylindrical member 161 and screwing the external thread 161b with an internal thread
712a of the rod 712.
[0047] The safety apparatus 200 having the above configuration exerts effects similar to
those of the safety apparatus 100.
